Eva, the host, is an outstanding singer and writer--but the friends she has hanging around are slowly turning the event into a mediocre jam session. Sign-up seems to be screened in favor of the in crowd. Pretty hard on a new person.

? Any standup comedians? As in, could I come do comedy?

I have gone to this many times and has been different each time. Sometimes the crowd is good and attentive, and sometimes its little kids eating pizza with their parents and screaming, times like that make it tough to read poetry or play music, it is distracting, but take in mind, it is a pizza place so people are there to eat.

The crowd is unattentive and the acoustics are horrible. If you play Irish tunes and can do battle with the crowd go for it. If you want to play softer piece safe it for your living room. Seems to be mostly locals who only listen to their own stuff then talk over your spot- sucks!

? Hi - Would you welcome an 11 y/o classical guitarist (6-yr player) in an early time slot? (Would also do a L. Cohen or K. Dawson.) Total time maybe 8 min.? My kid has no guitar 'community,' nothing in schools.
